A new take on this classic comfort food allows for easy preparation and a fraction of the work. The Crockpot allows you to put dinner on before leaving for work, and still come home to a home cooked meal.

I’ve made this with the same layering in the oven as well. Both are s great way to enjoy this favorite. The recipe can easy customized for dietary needs and you can also make a soup with the same ingredients.

*Tips*
You can substitute cheese tortellini if you cannot find ravioli. Both work in Crockpot or oven.
Adding a vegetable like Spinach or Zucchini makes this a one pot easy meal.
Of course a fresh salad goes great too.
For soup add tomato sauce. Be careful not to overcook your pasta or it will disintegrate. Add pasta last and top bowl with cheese.
